The lessons presented in this session coincide with State and National Standards across the country including Common Core.

Differentiation is a key component of this workshop. Connections become more meaningful when you engage your students in the learning process by using thematic units. Join Ginny Dowd in a one day workshop that will put creativity into your classroom. These language arts, creative writing, math, science, and social studies lessons will give your students the opportunity to think critically, understand without memorizing and challenge even the highest level learners. Some of the themes that will be covered include:

We the students of The United States... (Constitution Day)We are all part of a communityThanksgiving is for EveryoneI need the Earth and the Earth needs me (Earth Day is every day.)Meet George and Abe! (Washington and Lincoln that is!)Embrace our Equality and Celebrate our Differences (Martin Luther King Jr. – Ruby Bridges )Winter is my favorite season!

In this one day workshop you will receive two manuals with over five hundred lessons that cross the curriculum. Each of the lessons is aligned to the State and National standards and can be implemented the day you go back to school. In this practical presentation, teachers will explore learning activities that can be used every day to raise the level of rigor for all of the students in your classroom.
